Bobbi Althoff has been trending all week for all the wrong reasons -- a video purporting to depict her in a sexual manner has been circulating ... but she's calling it out as fake as hell.

Here's the deal ... this clip has been floating around online for the past few days -- and anyone who's anyone can tell it's a straight-up deepfake ... superimposing what looks to be Bobbi's face onto a woman who's masturbating on a bed, all in front of a camera.

Some idiots on X have been feeding into and recirculating it as real -- claiming it was "Bobbi's nudes" -- but the influencer herself is pouring cold water on all that by speaking out.

She posted a screengrab of her name trending on X/Twitter -- which was apparently popping off in the "Rap" category -- and noted that what people had been losing their minds over was not, in fact, her ... but rather, just a computer image trying to pass as her.

Bobbi wrote, "Hate to disappoint you all, but the reason I'm trending is 100% not me & is definitely AI-generated." She also posted a video addressing it ... and stamped it down there too.

So, there you go ... Bobbi's saying it ain't her -- and if you're familiar with her brand ... you'd know she would NEVER record herself doing something like that. BA is a bit of a prude -- and she's also a mom ... so definitely not the type to be raunchy just 'cause.

Granted, she is single these days -- her husband recently filed for divorce -- but still ... this ain't the sort of thing Bobbi would post. It had "fake" written all over from the jump.

Funny enough ... Bobbi was probably hoping to be trending over her latest cringe-y interview -- this time, she talked to Wiz Khalifa ... and it's just as good as all her others. Unfortunately, pervs had her name going around for something super gross ... what else is new?

Marshawn Lynch just cut a deal with prosecutors in his DUI case ... avoiding a trial that was slated to begin in Las Vegas later Wednesday.

Court documents, obtained by TMZ Sports, show that as part of the agreement, the former NFL star's misdemeanor DUI charge will be reduced down to a reckless driving one if he completes several conditions.

Some of those, the docs show, include 200 hours of community service, DUI school, a $1,140 fine and keeping his nose clean for the next 12 months.

As an additional part of the deal, prosecutors agreed to drop the other charges Lynch had been facing.

Court records show Lynch is now due back in court for a hearing in the case in May.

Lynch's attorneys, Richard Schonfeld and David Chesnoff, said in a statement to 8 News Now following the agreement, "Mr. Lynch has not been convicted of any offense at this time. He has agreed to complete certain requirements which will result in this case being closed as a reckless driving traffic offense."

The ex-Seattle Seahawks running back was initially charged with the DUI -- as well as, among other things, one count of failure to drive in a travel lane -- back in August 2022 ... after officials accused him of getting behind the wheel of a 2020 Shelby GT500 while drunk.

Officials claimed Lynch tore up his car on the roadway ... before he parked it and fell asleep.

Police video shows when officers confronted Lynch ... he seemed uncooperative. And, after cops said he was "obstructing" their investigation, they pulled him from the car.

"Roll over," the cops could be heard telling him as they wrestled him to the ground. "Hands behind your back. No more games today."

Lynch's attorneys argued at the time "the vehicle was safely parked and not in operation" -- and therefore the DUI charge shouldn't stick.

Devin Ratray -- who famously played Buzz in "Home Alone" -- has reached a resolution in his domestic violence case in Oklahoma ... and the deal he struck will keep him out of jail.

The actor pleaded guilty to two counts of domestic violence Wednesday ... which finally brought the case to a close after it'd been pending for nearly 3 years.

Court documents, obtained by TMZ, show that after entering his plea, he was sentenced by a judge -- and he'll just be on probation for the next 3 years ... while also being ordered to complete a Batterers Intervention Program and undergo a drug/alcohol assessment.

Devin -- who appeared via video link with his attorney -- is also required to cover court costs and have zero contact with the victim.

You'll remember ... Devin was arrested after he was accused of pushing, punching and pressing his hands against his ex-GF's throat and mouth during a drunk altercation in December 2021.

He was booked for felony domestic assault and battery by strangulation, as well as misdemeanor domestic assault and battery. He was later released on a $25K bond.

Devin initially entered a not-guilty plea back in February 2022 ... and things have moved super slow since. Now, he's copped a plea and it looks like he avoided time behind bars because of it.

The case saw further holdup last month when Devin's lawyers recently informed the judge he was hospitalized "in critical condition."

Zachery Ty Bryan still seems to be boozing after his recent DUI arrest -- hitting a couple bars this week ... although, it looks like he learned his lesson on getting behind the wheel.

The former "Home Improvement" star was spotted Tuesday for the first time since his Saturday morning bust in La Quinta, CA for allegedly driving under the influence ... and he stopped by two different watering holes in the same desert resort town, back to back.

First, Zachery went to the Amigos bar there around 3 PM yesterday ... plopping down at the bar for happy hour. There aren't any photos that explicitly show him sucking down drinks -- but it's a good bet that he probably might've been.

Now, we're told he stuck around for about an hour at Amigos before moving on to the next joint ... but he didn't drive on over -- he actually caught a rideshare this time.

Luckily, Zach played it safe on Tuesday ... responsibly grabbing an Uber to take him over to a local Applebee's, where he popped in and once again grabbed a chair at their bar.

Zachery again sat down ... and here, he was seen with a cold draft beer in front of him. He got to Applebee's around 4:15 PM, still prime time for happy hour by anyone's clock.

Obviously, him in this kind of setting is somewhat alarming -- especially when we know he was literally behind bars just a few days ago for allegedly drinking and driving. Yes, it's good that he's trying to be responsible by using Uber, but the fact he's in a boozy environment like this at all is troubling. Ya gotta wonder if everything's alright with him these days.

TMZ broke the story ... Bryan was arrested by La Quinta Police early Saturday morning for driving under the influence. He was also booked for misdemeanor contempt of court.

Cops say they conducted a traffic stop just past 2 AM after they saw a vehicle they suspected of being involved in a traffic collision. Police say they spoke with the driver -- later identified as Bryan -- who allegedly showed signs of impairment, leading to his arrest.

The tallest and shortest people in the world have something brewing ... reuniting after 6 years to catch up over breakfast ... and it sounds like a film project is involved.

Sultan Kosen and Jyoti Amge traveled across the world to meet Monday in California ... making for a wild pairing and an even crazier set of photos.

Sultan, a 41-year-old from Turkey, holds the Guinness World Record for the tallest living man at 8 feet, 2 inches tall ... he towers over most people, and his shoe is almost the same size as Jyoti, who is just over 2 feet tall.

Jyoti, a 30-year-old from India, looks like a doll compared to Sultan ... especially when they're both sitting cross-legged on the floor.

Turkey's Anadolu news agency released the images from Monday's breakfast meeting in Irvine ... claiming the duo was invited to California by an unnamed American producer, who planned to film their meeting.

In one photo, Sultan is sitting in a chair and Jyoti is standing on a chair next to him ... and she barely reaches his shoulder. Check out the gallery ... it's pretty surreal.

It's the second time in six years Sultan and Jyoti have gotten together for some jarring photos ... the last meeting went down in 2018 in Egypt, where they posed in front of the Great Sphinx of Giza.

Sultan's held the title of the world's tallest man since 2009 ... his height is the result of a tumor in his pituitary gland, which creates an excess amount of growth hormone.

Jyoti's been the world's shortest woman since 2011 ... she was also the shortest teen and became the world's shortest actress in 2014 after landing a role in "American Horry Story."

A family outing at the beach turned into a tragic nightmare this week -- this after a little girl was buried alive by a collapsed hole dug on a beach in South Florida, which killed her.

CBS News Miami reports Pompano Fire Rescue responded to a call Tuesday just before 4 PM about a 7-year-old boy and a 5-year-old girl who were trapped under a mountain of sand after a deep hole they were digging -- about 6 feet deep -- caved in on them.

Shocking cell phone footage -- aired on NBC6 -- seemingly caught the aftermath of the horrifying ordeal ... with beachgoers jumping to the kids' aid and attempting to dig them out.

People got down on their hands and knees to scoop the sand off the children while others tried to hold up the walls so the children didn't become further buried. A huge crowd of onlookers stared on in disbelief ... and support boards were used in the rescue effort.

The boy was reportedly buried up to his chest while the girl was totally submerged under the sand ... and CBS reports the boy was taken from the Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Beach to a hospital where he's recovering in stable condition, but the girl died before getting there.

It's unclear how long they were buried ... but it sounds like it took a while to get them out.

Local outlets say officials are investigating if the children are from the area or out of town as well as the children's relationship.

It might sound like a freak thing ... but these sand burials actually happen fairly often. Reports say the girl had stopped breathing by the time first responders were finally able to reach her.

Kim Kardashian is a proud mama after North West's career has been cemented on the Billboard Charts ... she's one of the youngest artists to ever do it!!!

On Wednesday, all 16 Songs from Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign’s "Vultures 1" album hit the Billboard Hot 100, including North's breakout feature on the track "Talking."

North's contribution debuted at No. 30 on the Hot 100 -- causing Kim K to beam with pride for her "baby" resharing a post on IG.

NW also made her premiere on Billboard's Emerging Artists chart -- an incredible feat for the 10-year-old ... but Jay-Z and Beyonce's daughter Blue Ivy still holds the record for the youngest artist to crack the Billboard charts.

At 7, Blue appeared on her mom's Grammy-winning "Brown Skin Girl” song giving her the Hot 100 record ... and made history as an infant via the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop by cooing baby noises on dad's 2012 "Glory" song.

"Vultures 1" also gave Chicago rapper Bump J his first taste of Billboard Chart success.

As we reported in December, Kanye has a star-studded album for Bump in the works -- Swizz Beatz and Metro Boomin are just a few of the producers slated to carve out hits!!!

The party seems to just be getting started ... "Vultures 1" is expected to top the BB 200 next week too!!!

9:54 AM PT -- Whether Tom Brady believes the relationship timeline between Gisele Bündchen and Joaquim Valente or not -- they're continuing to see each other as they explore their romance ... proven by the fact that Joaquim just left Gisele's place earlier this morning.

Here's a shot of the jiu-jitsu instructor making a clean getaway from Gisele's home in Miami Wednesday morning -- right on the heels of reports that they're together as a couple now. Tom himself might be incredulous as to when it all began ... but they clearly don't care.

Gisele Bündchen didn't start dating Joaquim Valente until June 2023, but apparently Tom Brady isn't buying what she's selling.

Multiple sources connected to Tom tell TMZ ... the former QB believes G&J started dating long before that. As one source put it, "They should add 2021 after June. Then the headline would be accurate."

Gisele sources told People, "They have been dating since June. They're taking it slow. They started out as great friends first."

As we reported, Gisele and Tom have known Joaquim for years. Their 2 kids took jiu-jitsu lessons with him and Gisele herself trained with Joaquim.

After Tom and Gisele split, she traveled several times to Costa Rica with Joaquim, along with her kids and have been seen together in Miami as well.

One source said, "When they announced divorce in October 2022, Gisele fled to Costa Rica for 2 months. Joaquim flew there with her for 2 months. She takes her jiu-jitsu training seriously. LOL."

Tom has been dating supermodel Irina Shayk on and off since last summer, so he's moved on. The couple shares joint custody of their kids.

Taylor Swift hit the zoo in between her tour dates in Australia Wednesday ... keeping herself preoccupied before she's finally reunited with her boo Travis Kelce.

Check it out ... the singer swapped out her glamorous dinner outfits for a blue tee and denim miniskirt -- a look so casual that if she wasn't one of the most recognizable faces in the world, she could almost go incognito at the Sydney Zoo.

But alas, it's Taylor ... so that's never going to happen, and people definitely noticed her here.

Tay Tay completed her low-key look with white kicks, a tote bag harboring her essentials, and shades to shield herself from those scorchin' rays. If you didn't know ... Australia is currently in its summer season.

With a camera hand, Taylor looked like she was having a great time walking around and getting to know all the exotic Australian wildlife with her Eras bandmates and dancers.

TS's opening act, Sabrina Carpenter, didn't appear to join her for the day at the zoo ... but she did join her for a swanky dinner in the city's Surry Hills neighborhood Tuesday.

Taylor has four  Sydney tour dates with SC before jetting off to Singapore for her next batch of dates ... before she changes her opening act to Paramore for Europe.

Travis hasn't joined her for the international leg of T's tour just yet, but there'll be plenty of sightings of the couple very soon ... 'cause we know the Super Bowl winner is currently on his way to see his lady.

Jimmy Kimmel seems to be announcing the end of his long-running late-night show -- but don't worry if you love him on TV ... 'cause it's not exactly going off the air tomorrow.

The comedian/talk show host spoke with the L.A. Times about his upcoming role as Oscars host next month ... and while discussing that, he touched on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" -- his hit show that's graced ABC for over 20 years.

Kimmel said he's considering what comes next in his career -- and added he thinks, at least right now, his current contract to host the show will be his last. He didn't definitively say he was leaving his late-night seat ... but that's certainly the feeling here.

Jimmy joked he hates to keep saying he's going to retire ... 'cause he keeps on signing up for the next go-around. This time though, he's got more than two years left on his deal -- and Jimmy says that's "enough."

This isn't the first time Kimmel's mentioned retirement ... in August on "Strike Force Five" -- the podcast he hosted with several fellow late-night hosts -- Jimmy said he was "intent on retiring" before the writers' strike began, but the time off convinced him to stay on.

On the podcast, Jimmy said whenever he's not working he starts to miss it ... and he reiterated that point to the L.A. Times saying he sees himself pursuing a bunch of hobbies in retirement rather than taking it easy post-'Kimmel Live!'

Looks like Jimmy's got a whole bunch planned for his future without his show ... an easier move for him to make since he claims he's never wanted to be a star. Instead, Kimmel maintains he likes taking part in other people's projects, making hosting ideal for him.

So enjoy the show while it lasts 'Kimmel' fans ... sounds like it'll come to an end before you know it.

An Amazon van got split in half on a railroad track a few years ago -- the aftermath of which looked absolutely wild at the time ... but it doesn't even compare to what you can see now.

TMZ has obtained new video from a Nov. 2021 accident that happened out in Milwaukee as a driver was driving along a road out in the countryside -- while he just so happened to go over a railroad crossing ... with an oncoming Amtrak train that he didn't see or hear.

The driver's name is Alexander Evans, and somehow ... he survived the direct hit -- which completely bisected his vehicle ... and quite literally leaving it cut in half with 2 big chunks.

Like we said, based on the pictures alone -- it's a miracle Evans escaped this nightmare relatively unscathed ... and that goes doubly after you watch the whole from his perspective inside the actual van. That POV is seen in this footage we got ... and it's insane.

You can see Evans going about his business and driving along casually. He makes a left-hand turn to get over the tracks ... and that's when the train comes barreling through his van.

Evans gets completely rocked inside ... and even after the immediate impact, the train goes zipping by right behind him. He's able to get his composure and starts to unbuckle himself -- seemingly looking okay. In the end, Evans only went to the hospital out of precaution.

BTW, we obtained another angle of the crash ... and this was from the front of the van, capturing the moment of impact, when you can see the glass shattering on the windshield.

Worth noting ... Evans told local media outlets at the time that he was deaf in his left ear and didn't hear the Amtrak horn until it was too late. He couldn't believe he'd survived this.

Zendaya has been making a showstopping impact on the "Dune" promo tour so far ... and seems like her costar Timothée Chalamet wanted in on the action, 'cause he's copying her.

Check out what these costars were rockin' at the "Dune: Part Two" premiere in South Korea Wednesday ... they're literally two peas in a pod in matching leather jumpsuits, posing away in sync with their hands in their pockets and all. That's double the impact for ya!

TC opted for a gray version of the one-piece ... while Zendaya, true to her fashionista form, styled up her light peach version, wearing it slung off her shoulder and with towering matching heels.

Both getups are by Seoul-based designer Juun J ... and Zendaya gushed during a sit-down interview about how wonderful it was to support local designers.

Timothée also addressed their twinning during the same interview ... saying it was actually Zendaya's longtime stylist, Law Roach, who came up with the genius idea.

Of course, it comes as no surprise as LR was also behind Zendaya's incredible full vintage suit at the movie's London world premiere last week.

The pics spoke for themselves ... Zendaya literally hogged the spotlight with a metallic Thierry Mugler Fall '95 haute couture look, which only she could pull off.

Tiffany Haddish's hitting some turbulence on social media -- upsetting fans with jokes she cracked while heading to Israel ... although, we know she's been very sincere about this.

The actress/comedian took to Instagram Live Tuesday to tell fans she was headed to the holy land for an educational trip ... before launching into a series of light-hearted jokes about everything she was planning to do there, including seeing stuff with her own eyes.

TH said she was heading to the war-torn area to meet her "future man" while sipping on a glass of "orange juice" -- adding it wasn't a mimosa in the aftermath of her second DUI arrest. Long story short ... some feel she was being a bit too irreverent about the issue.

During this IG Live session, TH also sang a song she made up, belting out, "On my way to Tel Aviv, then to Jerusalem. Then I’m going to the Dead Sea and goin’ get me some. Gonna have some fun, yeah. It’s gonna be great. Then I’m gonna learn about the politics, ay."

Even though she left it out of her jingle, Haddish told her followers she was going to Gaza as well before asking ... "Isn't Gaza in Israel? Ain't it all on the same continent, the same piece of land surrounded by water?"

She's since landed in Israel, BTW ... but she didn't say anything to photogs waiting for her in the airport.

Of course, disputes over that land are a major impetus behind the region's destructive war ... and people online weren't pleased with Tiffany's bit referring to her as a Zionist and claiming her trip cosigns on the "Palestinian genocide."

FWIW ... Tiffany confirmed she had Jewish ancestry 5 years ago via DNA test and -- according to a 2022 TIME interview -- she regularly attends Friday Shabbat dinners.

She's been an avid supporter of Jewish causes over the years too -- most recently headlining a Jewish fundraiser show at the Laugh Factory and calling for the release of Israeli hostages taken by Hamas back in October. So, yes ... Tiffany has been passionate about her Jewish roots -- and she's been talking about wanting to go to Israel for a long while now.

There is one entity that's stoked she's on her way to the country ... the Israeli government announced her imminent arrival via X and asked if they could "throw you a Bat Mitzvah at the Western Wall?" Unclear if the state knows she already had a Bat Mitzvah in 2019, but they're extending an invite anyway.

Travis Kelce's got a chance to sing where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases ... 'cause Garth Brooks is personally inviting the Kansas City Chiefs superstar and his buddies to perform "Friends in Low Places" at his bar grand opening!!

The country music legend extended the offer on his "Inside Studio G" show Tuesday night ... after he praised the Super Bowl champ's attempt to cover his classic 1990 anthem at last week's festivities in Kansas City.

GB said he thought TK's rendition at the Chiefs' Super Bowl rally was "fantastic" ... adding it blew him away 'cause he was watching the whole moment unfold live.

Brooks was so moved by the gesture, he revealed he wants to send a private plane to Kelce, his brother, Jason, and all his boys to give the song another shot when his new watering hole -- fittingly named Friends in Low Places Bar and Honky Tonk -- officially opens its doors in Nashville in a couple weeks.

"Big man, I'm just telling you this," Garth said on his show. "I will be at grand opening if you're there. I'll send a plane if you want another shot at the title. If you want to come sing that, I'll send a plane."

"So, yes, I'll be happy to send this invite out to you if you want to try a little 'Friends in Low Places' in Friends in Low Places."

Las Vegas' most popular tourist resorts need to strip those sheets STAT ... 'cause a massive outbreak of bed bugs has been discovered over the last few months.

The creepy crawly pests have been found at Encore, the Venetian, the Mirage and the Excalibur Hotel and Casino ... after Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD) inspectors were called in to check things out -- this according to health records cited by 8 News Now. So, you may wanna reconsider plans if you've got a stay booked at any one of those hotels.

The last bed bug discovery was in December when one of Encore's specifically trained bed bug-sniffing dogs discovered a live bed bug in a room when a guest filed a complaint. Thankfully, the room was taken out of service pronto.

Before that, the teeny-weeny parasites were discovered in rooms at the other three resorts up and down the Strip in September and October.

According to the Nevada Resort Association, the outbreak affected only four rooms across the four hotels, and they described the incidents as "extremely rare and isolated occurrences." They add members are taking swift action in accordance with health and safety requirements.

It's unclear how the blood-sucking bed bugs made their way to the resorts and if there's a link between them all -- but they all lie within a 4-mile stretch of one another ... and one thing about bed bugs is they do love to hitchhike through luggage and clothing, so the spread could've been facilitated that way.

This ain't the first time Vegas has been under siege by bed bugs ... they were previously discovered at seven other popular hotels between 2022 and 2023. The spots they hit up at the time were Caesars Palace, Planet Hollywood, Circus Circus, Palazzo, Tropicana, MGM Grand, and Sahara.

President Biden nearly fell boarding Air Force One this week -- a bit surprising since he took a shorter flight of stairs ... confirming a report that that's what his staff has him doing now.

Joe was getting on the famed aircraft Tuesday as he was getting ready to leave D.C. for California -- where he'll be in town for a few days as he fundraises for his reelection campaign ... but as we've seen before, he had somewhat of a hard time climbing aboard.

Check it out ... you can see JB make his way up a shorter staircase into a different part of the plane -- which is much lower to the ground than the usual entrance he might take -- but even here, the Prez struggles a bit ... jolting forward a couple times as he catches himself.

Luckily, he didn't fall here -- as he has in the past -- but it was a little jarring. Even more surprising is the fact that a Secret Service agent was stationed at the bottom of the stairs ... keeping a watchful eye on his boss. We've been seeing this more lately with Joe.

It's interesting ... the agent at the bottom of the (shorter) stairs is something the NYT reported on earlier this month -- part of a new strategy in managing/shielding Biden.

Worth noting ... Donald Trump would also use the shorter stairs at times during bad weather, but now -- it seems Joe taking the shorter stairs with someone monitoring him from behind is the new norm. Even here though -- it seems like a potential fall is still in the mix.

It goes without saying ... these concerns have been mounting -- namely, ones about his age/fitness for office. It's something he's swatted away time and again ... but folks are talkin'.

Also worth noting ... this ain't the first time Joe has fallen during his presidency. He's taken some nasty tumbles before -- including while boarding Air Force One.
